five thirty am in moscow good to have you with us as we gauge of day's top stories in a look back on the week's news here on our team plus should have been a day of commemoration for a football fan ends in bloody clashes as thousands riot in moscow and st petersburg . exit polls in kosovo's first parliamentary elections suggest the democratic party of kosovo headed by the current prime minister has the lead but observers say most of the serbian minority boycotted the vote. winter of discontent in europe rises up in protest over to wishing fees and financial hardship. that start he takes to the

skies to find out more about everything from balloons to rockets and strives to fulfill one of its greatest dreams. but. i've never been like this before. so how does it feel. we did it. these people don't have a runway with powerful engines all that's needed is a steep hillside or a with each with each takeoff there is always a risk they all know it's question all pilots but they proudly call themselves preflight pilots.

in the foothills of the rules a thousand kilometers from moscow. these paragliders have three days at their disposal they have decided to make several flights in different parts of passion. to launch points are hilltops many paragliders consider the difficulty. so let's say shane called head of the expedition chooses a gentle slope to start from the pilots are in a hurry they need to reach another launch point later in the day but i know this you would know this is my first flight today so i feel a little jittery. it's always this way it's first year cancer trembling before takeoff but still this comedy is calling us to sneer with so once you get it tasted is stronger than. paragliding infused nicholai like i'm

a cool weekend pilots he only recently began taking to the skies. in this expedition he has won an important and dangerous to make his first unassisted flight from mountain top. for the time being is getting accustomed to the sky in tandem with his instructor alex. we're ready for takeoff we're going to get there and my instructor is taking care of me. so you see what it's like up here it's all quite pull off some aerobatics. oh good lord have mercy on me. when a winch is used to launch paragliders the pilots in tandem depend. on.

the winch motor further down the slope tragedy may strike if the snaps too quickly the pilots can relax only when the paraglider has gained enough height and the wing is filled with. what compels us to fly. the adrenalin no it's not. that we fly like birds that is. my it's really breathtaking. to see. when i was a child. release. when i was a child i used to fly in my dreams. if you were over my hometown. and i really had a feeling that i was flying. sort of feeling i guess when flying apparently no

doubt about it that's when you feel your hands are like. everything is beneath you and everything. it's above you. and you have total power over that is of course if you know exactly what you're doing. the first flight suit being troublefree before any takeoff the pilots once again go through a detailed run through of in-flight take meek's on the ground you should be scared up here just carefully assess the situation especially if the weather is six tree and that's. in that case you need to act with clockwork persuasion if you panic nothing good will come from your actions you need to be worried only before launch and after landing. so. far and by the sea. and beginners

this is the place where many. part of its effect skills. will take. them will turn left. after that will try to line up. the members of russia's national team of hang glider pilots they head out by early in the morning when the weather around you is completely calm. this is the best time for what is known as speed it's a risky but spectacular competition. very close to nature. if you're in the air not in the cabin like a pilot the truth will look at where you feel when you're controlling the balance you're catching me. your body with your head forward they're going to

your flying like a bird with a. hang glider is a swept back wings supported on a rigid frame the pilot controls it by shifting his body weight in. various directions a hang glider can reach a speed of more than one hundred twenty kilometers per hour. speed glider pilots into fly as close to the ground as possible to gain speed. it may look serene from the ground but there's a serious competition going on between pilots they are trying to keep the maximum speed through the final lap. one hundred and one thousand kilometers per hour is a decent speed. physically but it means that the risks are great. just. to be gliding is difficult. the pilot needs training. not all of them get the nod right away. training is an absolute must for

a regular route let alone speed gliding. through. the next destination for the expedition. it's food to pay homage to a pilot who was killed in an accident is several years ago. is blunt and to the point the mountain gives us wings but takes away friends in exchange. the free flowing pilots regard mounted as one of the treacherous. a convenient and easily accessible point is found at its top but the pilots have to be on the watch during flights so as to stick. to the wind is coming from the valley you mustn't go

be on the rocks into the clouds or even. in the wind in a condescending grove down there so we talked difficulty touching down the flight path is narrowed only about one hundred meters. that's right. here in the spring this is a series problematic mountain and there are dangers place in mind you have to be very careful here that if. the weather. take off from the mountain because he is only a beginner. he does allow the failed to go ahead he's experienced and has taken over from the mountains single handed several times before. full me in my weight right behind my back oh come on come on be careful

great. get into rising near. the forward. beautiful well done rafa and. just get it flying one consonant on. good control of the glider. he had no problem touching down. i'm going to join him now. but look this is lisa already current time up here this loon us. weather conditions. anybody. but we fulfilled the exercise despite all that.

in paragliding only one in the finals and flights may result in an accident but they all are extreme parlance and they often risk their lives. russia's middle and the small time of the. political party by the name of alexei machette it was one of the first russian pilots to attempt a painter's trick of flying a powered power glider under a bridge when people thought we picked up the measuring tape checked out five different branches none of them suited our navy. friends inspected many bridges before they settled on this one that is situated between the towns of tall yeah and some. suited us marvelously.

and it's high above water. the river flowing underneath gives us more guaranteed a safe flight under the bridge with the rest is a matter of technique. i like say flies something called the para motor which is a traditional powerglide a wing powered by a small. with a propeller attached. a very simple piece of equipment that has a two stroke engine within a quarter cooling. muffler and a fuel tank and is completely safety. use the weather is the main risk factor. should be totally calm the volga river is one of the most beautiful but difficult sights for such flights it is always windy here alexei needs to pinpoint the exact moment when the wind dies down and then fly under the bridge as quickly as possible the motive behind the pilot's bike weighs fifty kilograms if the wing brushes the

bridge he will be sent crashing into the water. but when you aren't leaders use a special system to rescue pilots after splashdown it's called. going find it here on the power outlet or. not go through. this system works automatically when a pilot crashes into the water. instantly and leads a big balloon boy along within three seconds with the engine lift him up to safety . as he circles over the bridge aleksei chooses the right moment for the aerobatics the wind has now dropped precision is crucial the gap between the bridge and the water is quite narrow and a gust of wind will push the part of course. and the glider traveling at sixty

kilometers per hour is in for a rough ride if he hits the water. like same a shot across stream came true but not before putting his life at risk this is undoubtedly an extreme sport. culture is that so much taxpayers' money i mean i do not see them a real train of minor change people is being treated that minor change is a guaranteed financial bailout of weaker members is this which. atomizing moral. motion to be soon which brightened if you need bound soon from feinstein christians . please friends totty dot com.

early morning in the most scary region an unusual vehicle is driving along the highway it's a three wheeled carriage with a propeller. this aircraft is known as an ultralight trike they are used in russia for forest fire reconnaissance. companies scott self a pilot with the emergency ministry special unit has been flying has tried for thirteen years flying isn't a whole b. or a spoof on the it's his job will be my task is to do a fly by sector spot find sources within syria with you.

generally i gather information about. the forest down. of an airplane and steering mechanism of it is reliable convenient and. put together alone so a colleague will always help. people . nearly every year in the region. the fuzz adjust the ground so no one can see the flames just the smoke it's hard to locate the hot spots from the ground but they can easily be spotted from the. pilot always confirms his route one last time before setting out. and then to do. the

north. west. in the northern region or. contacts must away. i'm believing we'll have to come to one thousand eight hundred square kilometers which is always the area of london the capital of great britain most of the territory is heavily forested. and dream news the locations of the places where far as i'm most likely to break out and where one can make an emergency landing. is an experienced pilot he always tries to pass over the forest quickly and never goes lower than three hundred meters above the treetops. is waiting for you to land trying tell him yourself. look try to tell him yourself

. john hey you. offroad i'll tell him. do it. first fires create powerful columns they rise sharply and can easily overturn trike despite the fact that the machine weighs around four hundred kilos only did not see any major fire breaks during his two hour flight safely back to. call a bitch everything's fine. but i got delayed by having a smoke a flight appeared to be forty minutes longer than intended i checked all the spots got pictures to trust them called fine but the firemen sent the trucks immediately . with the. expedition is in its third to the weather is more favorable to. day i expect it to

be a great day for piloting joining our fellow pilots who'll be flying around in great numbers this spectacle will be simply breathtaking. the instructor alexei's said so first he's going to size up the situation in the sky and the strength of the wind. the wind is so strong. that the most important thing is to move forward but that's not happening right now so. i'll release the brakes. and go. brief scramble the pilot studies the wing and soars into the sky. do you think this is typical of summer time earlier this year a pilot covered one hundred kilometers in area. he took off from here

first healing girty in a dynamic current waiting for the arrival of thermal and then it lifted him to an altitude of one kilometer or even more and then from that point he embarked on the route. alexei radios another member of the expedition to tell him he is cleared to take off when the. greets him and both pilots begin soaring. all right now we start soaring. every now and then we go up or down with the wind we field of beauty and comfort of the flight there is a little turbulence because of the smoke see that's what i'm talking about. let's go to the right it's safer there. well the third member of the

expedition on the ground has been desperately trying to raise the wing stabilize it and takeoff but all of his attempts have been in vain the instructor decides to touchdown and fly with nicholai in tandem. flying is it different why it's a life of a bird when flying you feel is still you are looking at things through the eyes of a bird as if you had wings sensing every tiny wee for fear the flying gives you incredible it's celebration you must fly by old and states are. looking for as many of those on the ground to think that attended is just for girls . this is just not true for you but if you fly without legs see you will see what a time there is all about is that. he spent three days trying to take off single handed the bad weather and his inexperience helping he can rely only on the

instructor. who did it and there's some people can keep stadiums or landings if they fall to the ground yet ballast is not because they're a skier thought they were just carried away by the moment so they sit on the ground a lot of things and feeling great because their eyes are dilated but not from fear it's pure euphoria that. one of the pilots is back on the ground after completing his flight he is helping alex a deal with the strong winds during takeoff. our speed is seventy kilometers per hour against the wind most of the pilots flying here are weekend pilots professional pilots don't fly here unless they want to practice takeoff or flying in a dynamic current. the northern caucasus is one of russia's best choice for professional paragliders the

route from the takeoff point goes through the cegep in the cool. this is where experienced pilots come to fly. conditions. created by the wind are very good. and hang glider pilots. but the real interesting flights can be found. close to the rocky ridge. only professionals can fly their. conditions. the most experienced pilots to take. strict instructions before they are allowed to fly. planes.

into the gorge or the rocky even if the weather is good you are simply not skilled enough. taking. always gain altitude within a short time even the tandem of pilots is swiftly lifted in the vertical position by a powerful current. above the clouds to an altitude of one thousand meters above view reveals a breathtaking landscape many people overcome their fears and fly over a mountain tops in order to see it. the mountainous landscape is a source of inspiration for instruct. him is regarded as a sign of great skill. she is crazy.

every pilot would be of the name is expected to take over from the man she can in bash kuria least once this is the last launch point for members of the paraglider expedition the pilots go to the old food this is been the most difficult to send in three days the weather is getting strong winds and drizzle leg say is ready for the flight but first of all if he decides to monitor a nicolaas takeoff it will be nicholas first unassisted flight from this mountain in extreme weather conditions that there is not that you were racing the larger easier number one objective you were on tour did then only takeoff on the way i'll be instructing you by radio. i'm always jittery when i take or. who only not terror twenty such takeoffs. try my best. i wish to ask

god to grant me a smooth flight so prejudiced the lord forgive me and have mercy on the sailor. for you member everything i taught you to do be careful with the brakes go through the procedure twice or three times i really don't worry. with your control control don't panic let's do it once again who is on board school surface go back to the launching point and spread out the blood out the right if you will. grab the controls make a turn run for your life quicker hold up your hands keep running. keep running don drop your hands. dancing now get away from the mountain.

this is a difficult mountain beginners are not. to takeoff from it because it's dangerous. for nicolai he has gone through basic training and he can well afford to take off from this mountain. the paraglider expedition. has been a success three pilots have been able to take off from the. wreckage. the landscape is real. taste a breath away from the excitement of free flowing. and i'm not an experienced pilot yet but i hope everything will be just fine that. these mountain tops have been conquered but there is still free flowing in store.
